Event Description

CT Colonography

Course Overview

CT Colonography (CTC) is an evolving technique with considerable potential for widespread screening of colo rectal cancer. Application of appropriate techniques and knowledge of correct interpretation skills are vital to successfully implementing this technique. This two-day course’s goal is to educate attendees in the technique, performance, and interpretation of CTC through the supervised review of a minimum of 50 sample cases. The course will also provide a forum for discussing research initiatives, regulatory issues, and the reimbursement environment.
